From Extinction to Endangered:

Baby Baca and Mom
Since the founding of Blue Oaks Center (BOC) in 2015, BOC has worked diligently to bring the Baca Barb Horse out of Extinction and into the Endangered Equine category. BOC has identified and gathered all known Baca Barb horses. Their preservation is critical as their descendants arrived from Spain with Cortez in 1517 making them part of American history. They have outstanding performance ability, beautiful conformation and the desire through natural horsemanship to bond with humans. With the support of several Universities’ geneticists and researchers, we have created an extensive DNA database on all Bacas. Blue Oaks Center’s preservation program has proven successful with the first foals now competing in various disciplines including: Working Equitation, at National Awards Level, Cowboy Dressage, Trail Riding, Endurance and Equine Assisted Learning. The Baca Herd continues to strive for their survival for the future generations without falling back into Extinction.
